Audio goes through Amp from Sony TV via ARC even though audio output is set to "TV Speakers"

I have a very strange issue. I have a Sony X800H 43" TV connected to an Amp via ARC. Everything sounds fine, however, each time I set the audio output on the TV to "TV Speakers," it starts playing through the TV Speakers, but then a few seconds later it says "switching audio to external speakers" and it plays the audio only through the Sonos Amp. The audio output still says "TV Speakers." My TV remote also now controls the Amp volume. Does anyone know why this would be happening? I'm not able to listen to sound though the TV speakers. Just through the Sonos Amp. I cannot tell if this is a TV or an Amp issue.
